Fall Lake

Visit the Wolf and Bear centers. Take a day canoe trip into the BWCAW. Very nice, well cared for campground. Pay attention to site design as they are carved into the rugged terrain. Some are suited to different types/sizes of RV’s. Great canoeing/kayaking.

It would be great to have a canoe storage area near the lake so campers who do not have a water site can leave their canoe by the lake instead of hauling it back to the campsite every time. Sawbill campground has such a canoe storage area and it works very well.

Fall Lake campground is an EXCELLENT facility. Restrooms are clean and well maintained.

We absolutely love coming to Fall Lake. It was a wonderful accidental find about 5 years ago and we now come back every year. It's peaceful and quiet with beautiful views of the BWCAW.
Bugs can start picking up at the end of June, the black flies being the worst so pack good bug spay and you'repreferred bite cream. Plan for a variety of weather, it can rain, be cool at night and muggy hot the next day.
The staff are helpful with recommendations for things to do and questions about the campground and area.
Some of our favorite places to see are the bear center, the wolf center, and driving out of town to Lake One (lots of animal sightings). The loop around Shagawa is beautiful too. And if you're up for a bit longer drive, visiting the Soudan Mine in Tower is fun too, the tours are great and our kids (age 1 and 5) loved it.
A large variety of food options around town too with the ice cream at Northern Expressions and dinner and a beer at Boathouse being our favorites.
Overall a top recommendation for a place to stay whether you're tenting or RV'ing. Enjoy!

Quiet campground with plenty of space between sites

Fall Lake is a well maintained bust campground. Very good spacing between campsite, and lots of trees for visual privacy. The restroom were clean and well supplied. Camp hosts were very apparent and were always friendly and helpful.

Loved, loved, loved this campground. Beautiful! Large foresyed spots, wildlife, nice staff, clean restrooms. Would return!

Facilities were clean and the grounds were well maintained.

The campground is beautiful and quiet. It was much larger than I expected but with so many trees between sites, it was as if we were the only ones there! Weather was cooler than we wanted but we still got out for walks and drove into town to search for treasures at several thrift stores. I’ll definitely plan another trip to this area!

This was our second year at Fall Lake Campground. Very impressed with the entire place. Campground was maintained well. Staff is very nice and helpful. If there was one thing I would change would be the surface rock used at the tent only sites. The gravel makes it hard to stake tent down.
